Anna's Blessing

We blessed Anna this past Sunday in Scott's home ward in Oregon. The (not so) little dress we got for Anna was a bit on the big side, so I guess she can still wear it for a long time to come. She still looked cute though. Before and after her blessing she screamed and whined loudly, but she was nice and quiet (and reportedly "smiley") during the blessing. Here is Anna, drowning in her dress and laying on her Christmas present quilt from Aunt Ruth and Uncle Dana. My sister (Ruth) made it with her own two hands! It is so cute and soft.

Here's Ruth and Anna having a chat.

Ruth and Dana got to be here for the blessing. Dana's family lives in Vancouver so its just a short drive for us to get together when we are both with the in-laws. My brother Will, who recently moved to eastern Washington for grad school was also able to come for the blessing. It was fun having Uncle Will come, even though Aunt Courtney couldn't make it 'cause of work. :( We missed you Courtney!

Here's Anna and Matthew relaxing. They are having so much fun seeing all the aunts and uncles (and cousins and grandparents!!).
